I thought this list might be of interest to check if we've missed anyone :-)

You can find it on this website: https://www.cafonline.org/my-personal-giving/long-term-giving/sunday-times-giving-list-2018

Since 2005, we've partnered with The Sunday Times to produce the annual Giving List, part of the Rich List, to celebrate the incredible work of philanthropists in Britain, many of whom are CAF clients.

The new Sunday Times Giving List 2018 is now published.

This year’s Sunday Times Giving List — produced in partnership with Charities Aid Foundation — breaks a number of records. It’s the biggest yet, with the donations of more than 300 philanthropists tracked. They have given a record £3.207bn, up 0.3% on the £3.196bn they contributed last year, which was itself a record sum.

Top of the Giving List is Jamie Cooper, a trustee and co-founder of the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation. Ranked second is Lord Sainsbury and family.

Second on the list is Lord Sainsbury. We don't seem to have much on him but his Wikipedia page is interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sainsbury,_Baron_Sainsbury_of_Turville

He was made a life peer in 1997 as a member of the Labour Party, and is on a leave of absence from the House of Lords since 15 July 2013.[3] He served in the government as the Minister for Science and Innovation from 1998 and 2006.

He is a major donor to the University of Cambridge and in 2011 was elected Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.

In July 2006, he became the first government minister to be questioned by police in the "Cash for Peerages" inquiry.[16][19] On 10 November 2006, he resigned as Science Minister, stating that he wanted to focus on business and charity work.[20] He categorically denied that his resignation had anything to do with the "Cash for Peerages" affair, stating that he was "not directly involved in whether peerages were offered for cash",[21] although this was contradicted by subsequent press reports attributed to "Labour insiders" which suggested that his resignation was indeed a direct consequence of the affair.

David Sainsbury has also been associated with the Institute for Public Policy Research and Progress. Between 2001 and 2011 he provided £2 million of funding for Progress.[25] In 2009, he created the Institute for Government with £15 million of funding through the Gatsby Charitable Foundation to help government and opposition politicians to prepare for political transitions and government.[23][26] Sainsbury donated £390,000 to Progress and the Movement for Change between December 2011 and April 2013, while he was not on a UK electoral register, which is contrary to electoral law, leading to Progress and the Movement for Change being fined by the Electoral Commission.[27][28]

Sainsbury funded the "Remain" side of the 2016 European Union membership referendum campaign,[29] giving £2,150,000 to the Labour and £2,125,000 to the Liberal Democrats "Remain" campaigns.

In 2013, together with his wife Susie, joined the Giving Pledge, the group started by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates, pledging to donate half his fortune to charitable trusts during his lifetime.

In 2011 he became Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, succeeding Prince Phillip (cough, cough)

Re the Gatsby Charitable Foundation:

The Wellcome Trust, the International Brain Lab, and Champalimaud Foundation of Lisbon, Portugal - and child adoption queen Madonna.

The CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme is a FENS and IBRO initiative in partnership with the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, Bordeaux Neurocampus (France) and the Champalimaud Foundation (Lisbon, Portugal) whose objective is to establish dedicated neuroscience training facilities in Europe.

ged 27, Verjee approached Tom Monaghan at a conference in the US, and persuaded him to sell the franchising rights to Domino's Pizza in the UK.[3] Verjee launched the chain in Britain and it now employs over 20,000 people in the UK[5] [6] Verjee sold his stake in the firm in 1989, and went on to oversee the development of the Brompton Hospital site. From 1993 until 1997, Verjee, alongside the singer Elton John, co-owned Watford F.C.[4] In 1995, he bought Thomas Goode, which holds two royal warrants and has over 160 years experience in iconic glassworks.

  • The Global Leadership Foundation, established by Nobel Peace Prize winner, F.W. de Klerk, which draws on the vast experience of former presidents, Prime Ministers, and senior ministers to discreetly and in confidence support current political leaders, promote good governance around the world and to strengthen democratic institutions and practices.
  • Supported the launch, of Free the Children becoming Chair of the UK board of directors in 2014. Alongside Holly Branson, Verjee co-chairs the UK initiative, We Day which encourages young people to take a greater role in their communities.[12] Princess Beatrice has since gone on to become involved in WE Day.

In 2009, Verjee was awarded a CBE for his charitable work.[19][20] In addition, the British Olympic Association appointed Verjee to its advisory board ahead of the London Olympic and Paralympic Games

In 2015, it was announced that Verjee had become an adviser to MassChallenge, the world's biggest startup accelerator programme.
